i got a question: mistake?

A mistake! ---

In the 3rd book, Hermoine started subscribing to the Daily Prophet in the summer to "keep in touch with the wizarding world" (am I right or not?) That was how she found out about the Weasleys winning the thousand galleons prize for the Daily Prophet contest.

SO, why in the 4th book, Hermoine said to Ron and Harry in the Great Hall that she's "just started subscribing to Daily Prophet because [she's] getting tired of finding things out on the paper by the Slytherins."

This was after Rita Skeeter wrote the article about her "love triangle with Potter and Krum." The Slytherins (Pansy Parkinson) showed the trio this article (because the trio [unlike Malfoy and the other Slytherins], didn't subscribe to the newspaper SUPPOSEDLY, right?)

The mistake?... Hasn't Hermoine already been subscribing to the Daily Prophet since the 3rd book?

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

I've found yet another mistake. If you look in the Goblet of Fire [hardcover], page 724-725... Start from the new paragraph.

Okay, when the Hogwarts students go home from Hogwarts, they have to go to Hogsmeade Station first right?! They have to go there to get on board Hogwarts Express (as mentioned in pg. 724-725)... This was after Harry witnessed Cedric died!!! How come J.K.R. didn't mention Harry seeing the "horseless carriage" in the end of the 4th book when they'd gone to Hogsmeade station (read pg. 724-725)??? Harry should have noticed by then!!! Harry only noticed about the "horseless carriage" in the 5th book, when he returned to Hogwarts for his 5th year!!! What the---?

Number 1: Hermione may have subscribed for the summer only, did you think of that possibility? Oh, and you should try writing a series of novels and get the continuity absolutely perfect...

Number 2: Maybe she hadn't thought of the carriages being pulled by invisible creatures yet. Maybe it was too soon after witnessing the death. Maybe they had another way of getting to Hogmeade station at the end of the year.

Number 1: *Ahem* I wasn't expecting absolute perfection from J.K.R. I was just merely stating that I was "wondering" about this certain mistakes if ever they were mistakes.

Number 2: Yes, maybe she hadn't thought about it yet since she wrote the 5th book much, much later. Although, it DOES gets some readers confused because Harry should HAVE really seen the horseless carriages when they left Hogwarts through Hogsmeade station in the 4th book.

And NO, there's no other way of getting to Hogsmeade station at the end of the terms BECAUSE the horseless carriage is the only known way JKR had mentioned. Please read pages 724-725 [hardcover] of GOF =)

havent you read carefully!?it says that the death of those has to "sink in" for you to see the threstals,by end of book 4 Cedrics death was resent, but when Harry went to howgart for his 5th year summer had passed and i think death sank a little bit more for him to be able to see them.. 😉

harry didn't see cedric die! his eyes were closed, saw a flash and then opened his eyes 2 c cedric die.

iluvsirius: Ohhh.. right, about the "sink in," part... I did read that part, but it's still weird... anyways...

celestial_moon: Coincidently I was just thinking about that right now. Harry didn't see Cedric exactly die huh? I just read the passage in the book when Wormtail casted the Avada Kadavra at Diggory. Harry Potter collapsed that time because of the pain in is forehead... hmm... that's got me thinking.

Ye need ta Get A Life Shanie (no offense)

No offense or not, what do you mean by that? OR were you the one who's offended because I quoted you? Haha. YOU apparantly need to get a life more than I do. And oh, by the way, no offense too. 😆

Look Mate, what I meant was if ye have this great life that ya say ye did in tha PM, then y waste yer time criting and pulling apart the little things in a fantasy novel?

(Oh and by the way, My shit would be golden compared ta yours... No offense)

That's why it's called a Private Message because what I wanted to say to you is not at all necessary to the thread's purpose. Unlike you who'd rather say moronic things here, because I think you merely want to draw attention to yourself, something that you can't do in your own real life (Oh, excuse me... do you have one?).

I didn't want to draw things out because it's just too shallow arguing over something ON THE FREAKING INTERNET about wasting my time "criting and pulling apart the little things in a fantasy novel" because I sarcastically "need to get a life."

I guess you didn't get what I'd hoped you'd understand in the PM I sent you. I'd have to say it straight out: THIS IS A FORUM. NOBODY HAS THE RIGHT TO TELL ANYONE THAT THEY "NEED TO GET A LIFE" BECAUSE THIS IS WHAT FORUM IS FOR: A FORUM IS A PLACE WHERE YOU CAN TALK ABOUT THINGS THAT BOTHER OR INTEREST YOU ON A CERTAIN SUBJECT MATTER AS LONG AS IT'S RELATED TO THE FORUM'S PURPOSE.

That's the reason I sent you the PM. Unfortunately, you're the one who needs to get a life because why are you pretending to "not offend" a member in the forum when it's certainly how you're acting right now...

This isn't even related to the topic anymore. If you need to say something unnecessary, say it in PM like I did. Don't try and catch yourself some attention here. People might say YOU need to get a life. I'm done, mate.

Now back to topic.

Guys, there are so many mistakes in the movies that I can hardly keep counting. I know now that the 3rd movie will be "illusion-destructing".

?

even tho he woz a baby, wudnt he hv seen his mother die? maybe that didnt start 2 sink in till much l8r in his life, like after the events of the past summer. sorry if there's something that proves me wrong, but thats jus a theory for if harry didnt see ced die.

In the movie "Philosopher's Stone", Hermione speaks Voldemort's name. No need bigger mistake.

not really cause i thought he was asleep when his mom died then he woke up...or was it he was in a different room

i didnt think so, coz of all that 'his mother died to save him' stuff, doesnt it say somewhere that she protected him, and kinda died infront of him?

bumping ....for combing a mistake thread
